Helpful Expert Reply:

Adding a TPMS sensor to a Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders part # WM8029135 with the 135 degree bend will be fine if using them with a metal valve stem on the rim which most have.

The reasoning is that if you add weight that far away from the attachment point it can cause issues with flexing the rubber and causing failure.
